A fun Egyptian mythology adventure. I'd recommend upper elementary readers that are fans of adventure/fantasy/myth and fairy tale retellings.

I really enjoyed this. A mix of Lightening Thief and Dan Brown for Middle grade readers the book had fun Egyptian mythology and fast paced adventure. Tut as you can guess is King Tutankhamen who is immortal but that means remaining 14 for the several thousand years. He hasn't learned much during that time and is still irritatingly foolish and obsessed with revenge. Luckily he learns a few things along the way with the help of a few mortal friends.
I wasn't happy with the ending. It is clear there will be another book but I wish the author had hinted at what the minor characters in the book where going to be up to next.

Hoover's adventure/fantasy series has plenty of action and links to history and mythology to keep young fans of Percy Jackson happy. Historical facts are understandably set aside in favor of an alternate reality in which Tut is an immortal teenager living in contemporary America. Tut himself doesn't come across as a particularly distinct character, but most readers will be content with the adventure, humorous sidekicks, and swift-moving plot. A good option for those looking for a new series.

Fun YA fantasy/historicalish fiction. King Tut was immortalized at the age of 14 and has been living an immortal in hiding sort of life ever since then. In current times, he is in middle school in Washington DC with his cat Horus - yes, the actual god - and his friend and protector, Gilgamesh, who usually goes by Gil. Very little information is given about what Tut and Gil have been doing for the last few thousand years, which makes this story of the eternal 14 year old a bit lacking. Now, he has to fight Horemheb again or be taken down by Set. Along with his friend Henry and a cute girl named Tia, Tut sets out to exact his revenge - which does not work according to plan. It is a cute story for middle school age kids.
